Cristiano Ronaldo earns £920,000 for four hours' work and Rafa Benitez pocketed £10m in season he was sacked AND relegated

Cristiano Ronaldo charges £920,000 for four hours' work and Rafa Benitez earned £10million in the year leading up to Newcastle United's relegation to the Championship.

More stunning revelations have emerged from German book Football Leaks: The Dirty Business of Football, including those claims about Ronaldo and Benitez's earnings.

Ronaldo charged that enormous fee working for a Saudi telecom firm which included a photo shoot, five signed shirts and two mentions on social media feeds.

And while Ronaldo's personal fortune is estimated to be around £190m, his former boss is also enjoying the fortunes available at the top of the game.

Benitez was handed an £8.5m payout when he was sacked by Real Madrid last year and, under terms of his severance, also landed a £500,000 bonus when the club won the Champions League under Zinedine Zidane.

Added to the estimate £1m he earned at Newcastle, despite failing to keep them up, Rafa earned a very tidy £10m despite being sacked and relegated in the space of a few months.

The book also claims the fee Real Madrid paid for Gareth Bale WAS a world record, despite contrary claims from the club.

Initial claims the figure was £77m, but the book explains that Real took the option of paying Tottenham in instalments, boosting the figure to a record £85m.
